We got Interview Letter from NVC. Are we supposed to get any other letter or package from Mumbai Embassy?

Did you get any letter/package Mumbai embassy?

No, I got two weeks to interview and I have not received anything in post from the Mumbai Consulate. Even I want to know whether I will be receiving some communication from them. Did you schedule your medical and OFC appointment?

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.
1/16/2013: Got married in India.

I-130:
2/28/2013: Attorney mailed the I-130 from a U.S. address.
3/4/2013: Priority date, NOA1.
11/6/2013: Case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center.

1/6/2014: 60 days of transfer are up, put in an e-request, given 30 days' time. Contacted the senator. Senator asked to wait till Feb 6 and if nothing then she will do something.
2/5/2014: Website status changed to RFE.
2/10/2014: Attorney gets RFE. They need G325A and photos of both me and husband, original marriage certificate, copy of marriage record and it's translation.
2/15/2014: Mailed the requisite documents to husband.
2/19/2014: Documents received by husband.
2/24/2014: RFE mailed.
2/26/2014: Case status changed to RFE review.
3/6/2014: After 367 days, NOA2.

After approval kept calling NVC but NVC always had one reply, file was not in their system. Husband too called USCIS National Customer Service Center and was told case was sent to NVC.
4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.
4/16/2014: Reply from NSCFollowup that the U.S. law prohibited that office from responding to anyone other than the petitioner and to have the petitioner contact them.
4/18/2014: Sent email to NVC Research to locate the case.
4/22/2014: Petitioner sent email to NSCFollowup
5/14/2014: Receive email from NVC Research that they do not have a record of receiving the petition.
5/16/2014: Congressman's immigration caseworker contacted supervisor at NSC who said the petition is pending and will be dispatched in two weeks.
5/27/2014: Petitioner received response from NSCFollowup that the case was pending an internal extended review. Really?
6/19/2014: USCIS case status change, "On June 19, 2014, we shipped this case..."

Interview scheduled! November 21st. The Friday before Thanksgiving week isn't exactly the stuff dreams are made of, but I suppose I should be thankful we finally have an interview date.

That makes sense.

Right before I got CC, I checked the our embassy calendar and saw that there was nothing available for November except for 2 spots and that was 10/15. The next day, the calendar shows a lot of open spots and that's probably AFTER all the Interview dates given. I think what happens is the consulate/embassy sends out the schedule to the NVC first before releasing the dates to the rest of visa applicants.

So it looks like CCs between 9/15-10/14 should have the November Interview dates and 10/15-11/14 will have December interview dates

It seems that we will have our interviews by December then. :idea:

LOL yes Austin I'm quite sure! I wasn't technically 100% naked, but there was a part where I had my top half totally exposed for the doctor to listen to my chest, then she had me pull my trousers and underpants down all the way so she could look at my you-know-what!

Are you sure YOU took the US immigration medical exam? :P

Now I REALLLY don't want to do my medical! How embarrassing! lol

It won't change anything, if they ask your employer name just give the old one because they have your W-2s for last three years and you just recently had a new job. All they want to know is if you are currently working, and what is your job title.

M-Munim.

I haven't gone that much far, so I can't give an answer.

My job didn't change I mean I just have a raise, but I guess that doesn't matter since I met the guidelines of sponsoring him.

From what I know, the rep told me they don't send off the file until they schedule the interview. Last scheduled interviews were on either 10/14 or 10/17. Edited by romii

It varies. My case was complete Sept 10, the Consulate in Canada didn't have them ("ready " on ceac) until Oct 20. I have seen others move way faster than this though. Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones!

Check the spreadsheet link in the first post of this thread for the most recently scheduled interviews.

Now I REALLLY don't want to do my medical! How embarrassing! lol

If I had read my own post before the medical I would have died inside, but actually going through it, it wasn't as bad as I imagined. She was a really nice doctor and really put me at ease. Still would rather never do it again but I'll do what it takes to live with my husband ^_^ except for lots of stuff.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.
